Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy:
I'm just thinking whether it's a good idea to add a section in the
end of each command's man page to list all relevant config keys to
that command, somewhat similar to "see also" section.
Yes, please. Discoverability of configuration settings is not very
good at the mom

Sounds good, thanks (resend and Cc Junio if
Thanks Rankumar! There's also the reference in the "git push origin"
example and the "This is the default operation mode if no explicit
refspec is found".
(I would have sent my own patch but I can't figure out where the

Is the newish push.default documented in the "git push" manpage
anywhere? I don't see it mentioned (and there are several references
to the "default" behavior), but maybe I'm missing something. Is it
left out on purpose (ie, config values aren't supposed to be mentioned
in command manpages)?
